I've explained the legal ramifications in a previous post. Radar
shows your position and distance but cannot be used by itself to
determine whether or not you are in a given airspace. For that, you
need some other additional reference.


You explained how you thought it would work out. In the real world the data
the FAA gives the FAA proves to the FAA what the circumstances were. The
burden of proof then shifts to the pilot. And about half of the things the
pilot could bring up might to explain the error would get him in just as
much trouble as busting the airspace. i.e. Something wrong with the
equipment in his aircraft.
